It had nothing to do with OS 8.6. It is a ROM issue with the powerbooks involved. Newer Powerbooks, (Wallstreets, original G3's and possibly 3400's) work fine with SCSI mode > 4gb. The others don't. All other powerbooks that support it, don't. And it does work, sort of, with some drives. It worked with my 5300 and the 6gb drive I put in there, but I sure didn't write anywhere near the 4GB limit. > -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B.
